    Brock Lensar (1-1) is still probably going to compete at hte UFC 87 card in Minnesota, but not against Mark Coleman (15-8), who has injured himself in training.


    In related news, the main event of UFC 87 is GSP vs. Jon Fitch. Fitch is widely considered a top-5 welterweight and is on a long winning streak that has seen him defeat some notable fighters including Shonie Carter, Brock Larson, Thiago Alves, Diego Sanchez, Josh Burkman, and Jeff Joslin. Fitch is taller than GSP by two inches and weighs about as much, which could negate Georges' usual size advantage. However, Fitch's strength is his wrestling--is he as good a wrestler as his training partner Josh Koscheck? If he isn't, he won't be a major challenge for GSP. But in the fight game anything can happen.

    That just made this UFC many times better. I wasnt really looking forward to what would of most likely been Brock Lesnar dominating the much older fighter. Maybe GSP vs Fitch will be kinda exciting but I am expecting GSP to steamroll through this one
